_Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil is rightwise king_ -Thomas Malory

King Arthur's peace is crumbling and it has been whispered that the fated Kingsword has once again returned to the stone. With Britain's unity in jeopardy, the kingdoms of Cornwall, Dyfed, and Lothian are each vying for supremacy over the failing Camelot. Dragons and the Questing Beast roam the lands, the Saxons and Picts are relentless, and Avalon and what is left of the old ways have all but disappeared into the mist. The Irish King has invited all to a great tourney in Ireland. As the feast gets underway and blades are sharpened, the real question remains - whose destiny is it to draw that sword from the stone once more?

The game will mix together the greatest stories from across the British Isles, including characters from Irish mythology, Arthurian legends, Scottish folklore, and the Welsh _Mabinogion_. The setting will feature great heroes and lovers such as the Knights of the Round Table, Tristan & Isolde, Culhwch & Olwen, the Merlin of Britain, and the famed Irish warrior Cu Chulainn.

**Notes:**

- The legends that form basis for this LARP are heavily steeped in romance. Most characters will have one or more romantic connections. - The game will feature a mix of interpersonal roleplay, adventures & quests, and political intrigue. - This game contains lengthy character sheets in order to accommodate numerous plots. You will be provided a summary page outlining your important information to use at game. - This game will contain some magic and supernatural elements, which generally will take the form of curses, geases, the fae, and mythical beasts. - There are numerous versions of these great legends and therefore the version used in game canon may differ from the one you are familiar with. _Kingsword_ blends tales and characters together, switches between Welsh/Scottish/Irish/English naming conventions, and takes many creative liberties. - All characters are gendered and players are encouraged to sign up for the gender character they wish to experience. - Content warnings: Arranged or forced marriages, incest, violence, and tragic/doomed love due to death, curses, or societal restrictions.
